Feature: “Laatbloeier En Het Succes” : The World of Guus Van Vugt

WORM is delighted to announce ‘Laatbloeier en het succes’; the first publication (in Dutch), to introduce an audience to the universe of Rotterdammer Guus Van Vugt. Co-authored by Irma van Veen, this zine-come-book tells of Guus’s working life in the Rotterdam harbour (where no doubt he already collected scrap materials for his sculptures) and how he now dedicates his time to making “trash collages”, triggering associations with Surrealist art (like The Exquisite Corpse) and Steampunk.

You can buy the book here, in the Underbelly shop. https://underbelly.nu/product/guus-van-vugt-rotterdam/
